So this is my first grow I read up alot and try to do my best but compared to all your plants mine are a joke. I'm not sure how to upload pictures but my plant is a week old and only has the two banana leafs and first two razors. But one of the razors is shriveled and small. Is this bad? Also how do I know when new leafs are coming in? What I'm using - I am using reaglar gardening soil - Alternating between a 40 watt regular, 100 watt fluorescent, and the window - I water whenever it gets dry Soon I'm going to move it outside I also want to have some started outside would I just put them strait I'm the ground an water them?
What brand of soil are you using and when you say regular 40 watt bulb what type of bulb is that? As for window cill lighting don't waste your time with that. Windows filter out a lot of the UV light and diminish the lumens. for seedlings I like to keep the soil moist for the first week but not soaked.
I'm not sure about the soil. I got it from my friend I'm school. It's just regular gardening soil. It's a soft white 40 watt. And I have the window wide open with no screen.
Soft white cfl bulbs are more for flowering but you can mix the spectrum of the bulbs to mimic the sun more. In veg its a 3:1 ratio of daylight cfl`s and 1 soft white cfl and vice versa for flowering.
upload to an image hosting site and put the link in your sig, thats the easiest way till they get all the bugs worked out of this new setup.
